PRODUCT INFORMATION

MAINTENANCE INFORMATION:

It is the buyer’s responsibility to have all suspension, drivetrain, steering, and other components checked for proper tightness and torque after the rst

100 miles and every 3000 miles after that.

NOTICE TO INSTALLER:

The enclosed “Warning to Driver” sticker must be installed in the vehicle in driver’s view. This sticker is to act as a constant safety reminder when oper-

ating the vehicle. It is your responsibility as the equipment installer to install the provided sticker and to forward the product instructions to the vehicle’s

owner for review. If a “Warning to Driver” sticker or product installation guide were not included in the kit, FREE replacement stickers and instructions

are available by request. It is the installer’s duty to ensure a safe and controllable vehicle after the modications have been performed.

WARNING:

Neither the seller nor the manufacturer will be liable for any loss, damage, or injury directly or indirectly arising from the use of or inability to determine

the use of these products. Before using, the user shall determine the suitability of the products for its intended use, and the user shall assume all re-

sponsibility and risk in connection therewith.

WARNING TO DRIVER:

This vehicle has been modied to enhance o road performance and has unique handling characteristics. Use in harsh environments can cause ex-

treme stress on the components. Vehicle should be inspected after being o road to make sure that all the components are in working order and safe to

travel on the highway. All fasteners should be checked so that they are at the correct torque specications as the vibration and stresses from o roading

may cause critical fasteners to work loose. Extra care should be taken to inspect the critical components, steering, and brake systems. During each oil

change components such as arms, tie rod ends, etc should be greased and checked for excessive wear. Any worn components should be replaced.

When returning to the pavement always set or restore tire air pressure to the factory recommendation and connect or engage any disabled sway bar

mechanisms. Because of the higher center of gravity and larger tires, this vehicle handles and reacts dierently than many passenger cars, both on and

o road. You must drive it safely! Extreme care should be taken to prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control, which can result in serious injury or death.

Avoid sudden sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. Generally, braking performance and capabilities are decreased when signicantly larger/heavier tires

are used, especially when used in combination with transfer case low-range reduction kits. Take this into consideration while driving. Do not add, alter

or fabricate any factory or aftermarket parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the TeraFlex product purchased. Mixing component

brand is not recommended. TeraFlex Inc. will not be responsible for any altered product or any improper installation or use of our products. We will

be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, function, and correct use of our products. It is ultimately the buyer’s responsibility to have

all bolts/nuts checked for tightness after the rst 100 miles and then every 3000 miles. Wheel alignment, steering system, suspension and drive line

systems must be inspected by a qualied professional mechanic at least every 3000 miles.
